The presuppositional argument, wherein the apologist says that God is the only explanation for what they call 'logical absolutes', by which they mean the laws of thought (the laws of identity and noncontradiction), the axioms of, well, all communication. What they don't understand is that the laws of thought are self-attesting, and that you can't have a coherent anything without assuming them. Even stating them to be false first assumes they are true and then denies them.

Hence, the most annoying. :p

Quote:In response to the question at hand: so is it basically just a repackaging of appealing to personal revelation?

More or less. Basically their faith isn't based on evidence but the Holy Spirit.
